What autocorrect corrects

TYPOS

["Think of those little mistakes your fingers make when you're texting too fast—this four-letter word is what your phone quietly fixes for you."]

Autocorrect is the feature that automatically fixes mistakes when you type, so the clue is simply asking what it fixes. "Typos" is the everyday term for those small typing errors—like hitting a wrong key or missing a letter—that autocorrect jumps in to correct. The answer plays on the common frustration of relying on autocorrect to clean up those little slip-ups. It’s a straightforward definition with no hidden wordplay, just a nod to how often we all deal with typos.
